0:00.0	Welcome to the Hello Sunday podcast, the podcast for busy women who are ready to drink less and live more.
0:10.2	I'm Casey McGuire Davidson, ex-red wine girl turned life coach, helping women create lives they love without alcohol.
0:18.4	But it wasn't that long ago that I was anxious, overwhelmed, and drinking a

1:37.0	I wasn't even planning to.
1:38.9	Or to tell yourself, I'll take a break next week or after that next big event or maybe next month.
1:45.9	But here's the thing.
